our stay was really pleasant here. the ladies at the front of the hotel were very friendly and funny. the entire hotel staff was very nice to us...weren't aware of the $1 you had to pay though for every phone call we made, but was okay since we didn't make a whole bunch. it's within walking distance to just about everything. could be cleaner, but forunetly we had an okay room.
OK location, decent value

Hotel is on the street across from the beach. I had not expected much, based on the reviews, and so was not disappointed. The room was clean, although the carpet needed replacing.
Could have been worse!

After having read the reviews here I was very hesitant about going to this hotel. True, cleanliness is not at all up to the Northern European standards that I'm used to, and furniture and fixtures were very worn. The overall impression was shabby. The carpet in our room was disgusting, like that stuff you see on How Clean is Your House.
There's a lot of noise from traffic and A/C and one of the three pools was out of use. But I had earplugs so could sleep OK.
However, the hotel location is good, a short walk from Downtown and Lighthouse beach is right across the road. The staff was friendly and we got to check in immediately when we arrived around noon. We also got to store our luggage for free when we left. There's taxis right outside. s a great character and will tell you all about the Bahamas. But make sure to agree on the fare before jumping in.
The breakfast that is included in the room price was continental in style, lots of sweet pastries and muffins. The coffee was horrible though and the coffee pot looked like no-one ever cleaned it.
But if you're not too fussy about where you stay then this hotel is OK. Although next time I will check in somewhere more expensive and nice!

I was not looking for a fancy place but the online pictures are deceiving, probably taken when the hotel was opened a long time ago. The hotel is in need of an immediate overhaul and should be avoided specially if traveling for business purposes. The rooms are dirty: the fabrics are either stained or worn out, the carpets heavily soiled with plenty of debris close to corners or joints to the walls, the paint is in bad condition, the ironing board cover was burned, sheets and pillows were smelly and missing closet doors and pulls were evident. The AC was very noisy although replaced upon request the next day. The bathroom is small and wasn't pristine clean: there were even women's hair on walls and shower floor upon arrival; the towels are small, worn out ant with a 30% polyester content. When I woke up to shower at 5:00am, there wasn't even hot water: even after 10min of letting it run, nothing changed and had to shower with cold water. Although the staff is friendly, do not expect any kind of assistance after "regular office hours". When at 8:00pm I left my room to buy a soda, I reported to the front desk that all the nearby corridor lights to my room were out, they say that they will check them the next day. They didn't even bother to offer to assist me back to my room. When I dialed to request a "wake up call", no one ever answered the phone. Seriously cleanliness is a big problem in this hotel. I came in and out of my room several times a day and never saw or heard a vacuum cleaner. Rooms are straightening every day but the bathroom is not cleaned or all towels replaced on a daily basis.
Horrible

do not let the pictures of the place fool you! It is horrible and dirty and a bad section of town to stay in, not safe at all! They charged us $10 a day for maid serve we did not use. We didn't trust the maids to come in our room but still got charged. Pay a little more and stay somewhere else!
